Planning Grant for the Public Understanding of Research Initiative in the Informal Science Education Program: Public Square

数学科学研究所正在开发和制作一个15分钟的试点节目，用于PBS杂志格式的新节目中的一个常规数学时段，该节目正在开发中。基思·德夫林将负责数学内容，并作为镜头主持人亮相。这些片段将基于Devlin在NPR周末版上播出的广受欢迎的广播节目《数学人》片段。试点的主题是粘土千年问题。这部试播由屡获殊荣的科学纪录片制片人乔恩·帕尔弗雷曼制作。对飞行员的评估将由Rockman et进行。艾尔如果成功，未来的一个部分将探索一系列数学主题，包括数学教育、流行病学、科学可视化、统计学的使用和误用、大脑如何获取和处理数学，以及投票的数学。

The Mathematical Science Research Institute is developing and producing a 15-minute pilot for a regular mathematics slot in a new PBS magazine format program that is being developed. Keith Devlin will be responsible for the mathematics content as well as appearing as the on-camera host. The segments will be based on Devlin's popular radio "Math Guy" segments that have been appearing on NPR's Weekend Edition. The topic for the pilot is the Clay Millennium Problems. The pilot is being produced by Jon Palfreman, an award-winning science documentary producer. Evaluation of the pilot will be conducted by Rockman et. al. If successful, a future segment would explore a range of mathematics topics including mathematics education, epidemiology, scientific visualization, uses and misuses of statistics, how the brain acquires and processes mathematics, and the mathematics of voting.
